Background and Discussion:
This grant would provide funding for 4 victim advocate positions and a civilian victim advocate supervisor position. The grant period would be October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025. Due to available funding levels, the grantor has placed a cap on the amount of applications this year and has also required a 20% match. The Department is meeting and exceeding this requirement.

Expected Impact:
This grant will enable the Sheriff's Office Domestic Violence Advocacy to continue providing victim assistance.

Alternative Options:
Not applying for this grant would jeopardize the 4 victim advocate positions and would reduce our ability to provide victim advocacy resources.
